Batfolk,
I have an account that requires I connect to the POP server using TLS
to the dedicated port (995). It has been working fine for a long time,
but suddenly it won't connect and I get an error message that the
certificate has expired.
However, the account log shows the following:
12/23/2010, 11:46:28: FETCH - receiving mail messages
12/23/2010, 11:46:28: FETCH - Initiating TLS handshake
>12/23/2010, 11:46:29: FETCH - Certificate S/N: E866A98DE7ACA3AB, algorithm:
>RSA (1024 bits), issued from 8/17/2010 11:11:06 AM to 8/17/2011 11:11:06 AM,
>for 1 host(s): sydmail01.commandhub.net.

!12/23/2010, 11:46:29: FETCH - TLS handshake failure. Invalid server
certificate (This certificate has expired).
which makes it appear that the certificate is still valid.
Needless to say people using Outlook can connect without problems, and
I set up Thunderbird and it connects. I merely had to accept that it
was a self-signed certificate (so the root was not trusted
automatically).
The people that run the server cannot see a problem.
My laptop clock is correct.
The only possible (long shot) source of a problem is that about the
time I started experiencing this problem I had updated AVG Free to the
latest version. At the time the problem started I was using AVG's
proxy servers, but even going directly to the POP server the problem
remains.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get more information about the
problems?
